Chapter 28, Problem 1FTD
Two AC signals have the same amplitude but different frequencies. Are their rms amplitudes the same?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Whether the rms amplitudes of the AC signals of same amplitude but different frequency are same or not.
Answer to Problem 1FTD
The rms amplitudes of the two AC signals are same.
Explanation of Solution
AC signals are ones which changes the direction periodically. Generally, AC signals are sinusoidal in nature. The rms amplitude of an AC signal depends only on the peak amplitude of the wave.
Moreover, the rms amplitude has no dependence on the frequency of the wave. Therefore, for two AC signals having same amplitude but different frequency will have the same rms amplitude.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the rms amplitudes of the two AC signals are same.

Because you are taking physics, your friend asks you to explain the detection of gravity waves that was made by LIGO in early 2016. (See the section that discusses LIGO.) To do this, you first explain about Einstein's notion of large masses, like those of stars, causing a curvature of
spacetime. (See the section on general relativity.) To demonstrate, you put a bowling ball on your bed, so that it sinks downward and creates a deep depression in the mattress. Your sheet has a checked pattern that provides a nice coordinate system, as shown in the figure below.
This is an example of a large mass (the bowling ball) creating a curvature of a flat, two-dimensional surface (the mattress) into a third dimension. (Spacetime is four dimensional, so its curvature is not easily visualized.) Then, you are going to amaze your friend by projecting a marble
horizontally along a section of the sheet surface that is curved downward by the bowling ball so that the marble follows a circular path, as…
Q6: Water in a river 1.6 km wide flows at a speed of 6.0 km h−1. A captain
attempts to cross the river in his ferry at right angles to the bank but by the

1.0 km downstream. If the captain wishes to take his boat directly across, what
angle upstream must he point the boat assuming the boat speed remains the
same? (
